Episode notes
Practice Asking Who Am I To Trace Thoughts
- Do practice self-inquiry by asking Who am I? and tracing each thought back to its source.
- Samaneri Jayasara guides listeners to notice a thought, ask To whom does it arise?, then inquire Who am I? and seek the origin of the I-thought.
Trace Thoughts Back Instead Of Fighting Them
- Do not follow or fight thoughts; instead gently trace them back to their root I-thought.
- The instruction is to return again and again towards the source and let the mind turn back towards the source of the I-thought.
I Thought Is The Root Of The Mind
- Insight: The I-thought is described as the root of the whole bundle of thoughts that constitutes the mind.
- Samaneri Jayasara emphasizes focusing only on the root I-thought because dissolving it reveals the mind's source.
